More than a dozen video clips were entered into evidence during the first week of Kyle Rittenhouse's homicide trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as prosecutors and defense attorneys pieced together a chaotic night that turned deadly.
The videos, some of which show graphic footage from the aftermath of the shootings, were played Wednesday during testimony from Kenosha Police Det. Martin Howard, the lead investigator on the case. They include livestreams, FBI aerial video, an interview with Rittenhouse that night, body camera footage that was posted on social media and other clips recorded by witnesses during the demonstrations.
Rittenhouse, who is now 18, fired an AR-15-style weapon eight times on the night of August 25, 2020, amid protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Those included four shots at unarmed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, who was killed, two shots at an unarmed unknown individual, one fatal shot at unarmed Anthony Huber, 26, and one shot at an armed Gaige Grosskreutz, now 27, who was wounded, Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger said in the trial last week. Rittenhouse's defense attorney said he fired only in self-defense.
